I am not quite sure what 'meme' is supposed to be on the internet. I think it is egotistical ... 'me! me!' because, that's what they are all about. 'me.' (the poster). Yay narcissism ^-^



I asked [livejournal.com profile] longpig what band I should use for this "me-me". She chose.... Steeleve Span So, this should be interesting ^-^ I am also using [livejournal.com profile] sabournine's cheat and looking at a discography page. Too many damned songs ^-^. Like her, though, I won't use titles to any songs I don't know.

Pick a band/artist and answer only using that band's song titles:

1. Are you male or female? Female Drummer
2. Describe yourself: The Boys of Bedlam
3. How do some people feel about you? Dance With Me
4. How do you feel about yourself? The Ups and Downs
5. Describe your girlfriend/boyfriend/interest: The Demon Lover, The Elf Knight
6. Where would you rather be? Hard Times of Old England, Lovely on the Water
7. Describe what you want to be: The Elf Knight, Two Magicians
8. Describe how you live: Cannily, Cannily
9. Describe how you love: All things Are Quite Silent
10. Share a few words of wisdom: Let Her Go Down ^-^

Silly... It's not "me-me...

It's meme. The informational equivalent of a gene. (Pronounced meem, to match gene.) Little thought viri that travel around the net, spreading organically.

Oh, I knew that. But my definition is more amusing ^-^

I figured you knew, actually, just felt a pedantic need to be sure. ;)

I think maybe a me-me is a subtyle of meme, actually, the ones that only spread because people like to talk about themselves. (Who reads them if everyone is just passing them on to add their answers?) My guess is that the me-me is the most common species of meme.
